Henson Cargill - Tall Oak Tree Lyrics

There was a tall oak tree that loved a bubblin' brook

And the bubblin' brook loved a mountain high

And the mountain high loved the sky above

The creator looked down and saw everything was loved loved loved



Then he picked up a bone and a piece of mud

He made a man and a woman to be flash and blood

Then along came a devil up bottom ground

He tempted woman and that's spred sin all around all around all around



If she'd've left that apple in that apple tree

There'd be no tears and sorrow we'd live eternaly

Then along came man to burn the oak tree down

And the bubblin' brook was a solid ground

And the mountain high don't stand so high

And there's a cloud of smoke that covers up a clear blue sky

There was a tall oak tree there was a tall oak tree

There was a tall oak tree there was a tall oak tree
